RESURRECTION

To break free was my aim,

From all the shackles that tried to maim.

To bring me into submission was too simple

For the fate and the people!!

All my life, tried to do the appropriate,

And to appease, to propitiate,

But never once did I realize

That I was being forced to live life in disguise!

But now this bird wants to fly

To open her wings, soar up above and high!

To show the world her real worth,

The potential, of which, she has no dearth.

Dare anyone come her way!

As she is no longer made of clay!!

Her own path she paved,

To the destination she so craved.

By her own principles, her life, she now led,

“Bring it on!!” was all she said!!

SOLITUDE

In a crowd, I stand alone

In trying times, am all by my own.

When I have achieved,

I pat my own back.

When I am in grief,

It’s a friend that I lack!

What do they care if am hurt,

If asked they say, I was hardly worth!

How could I have been so naïve?

To not have seen the falsity they portrayed!

May be I was deaf, may be I was blind,

As, now, I Have ended up with lonely kind!

It takes some time, but now am fine,

For, now, its SOLITUDE that I find Divine!!

Lost And Found

Why should I be alive?

While you are dead and gone…

Why should not I let the pain thrive?

While I relive our lovely sojourn!

Why is it so hard to forget, to let go,

The memories of our past

All I want now is to hold you so…

And hope the moment to last!

I think of all those moments shared

All the lovely times we spent

With you now gone my life’s so bare

Your absence so poignant

I was walking down the lane

The place where we first met

And there again came the pain

And I wept and I wept and I wept

*****

Those days seem so long ago

It’s been more than a year

But I no longer feel so low

Because I know now, you are always near…
